..........................................................................................
The hall of the Aalto Musicians Association is as bright and quiet as ever, because no matter where the musicians are, the creature of musicians is very rare compared to the members of other associations, and the musicians are busy with the work of their own orchestras and orchestras, unless they need to borrow a quiet and complete piano room to practice, or cooperate with the musicians to rehearse in the recital hall on the fifth floor and go to the music library to find sheet music, books, etc., few come to the association early in the morning.
Moreover, the creation and practice of music requires a lot of quietness, and the musicians' association has never tried to turn itself into a bustling place.
Behind the reception desk in the hall were two sweet, delicate, blonde girls who could be pleasantly surprised at first sight, and they were talking with their immediate boss, Mr. Hank, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the association, while the tall, thin and serious Hank smiled and pointed to a beautiful young girl beside him to give them instructions.
The girl was about twenty years of age, with impressive black waterfall hair and a delicate look, but what made her even more impressive was the squatting white-haired, mighty wolf beside her, who looked quietly and spiritually.
"Madam Louise, we will ask you about other musicians, and if any gentleman or lady thinks they have studied nature music, they will tell you. The girl with the common name Polly said respectfully to the new musician in front of her.
She is really an object of envy and yearning, born in an aristocratic family, she has a musical talent since she was a child, and she has accumulated the wealth needed to buy holy water with the inheritance she inherited and the money she earned from participating in performances, which inspired a strange blood close to nature and animals, which in turn made her playing ability greatly improved, and finally became famous at this music festival.
For Polly, though. It is Miss Elena who really admires her, because she starts from an ordinary reception girl like them, relying on her own efforts not to give up. He has become a musician with a lot of income and a high status among the citizens, and he is the most worthy of learning.
Louise smiled and nodded, and said politely, "Thank you, because music in this area is rarely heard in Aalto." So Mr. Hank and I don't know which gentleman or lady is good at, so we can only rely on you to ask each other one by one. β
At this moment, the stained glass door was pushed open. A young man in a black tuxedo and a bow tie walked in unpleasantly, surrounded by several young musicians and musicians.
"Who is he?" Polly had been working for the Musicians' Guild for a year, but she had never met this handsome man, but the gentlemen behind him, whom she knew. But even if she didn't know it, she vaguely felt that it was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere from afar.
Hank, who subconsciously turned around, was stunned at first. Then a bright smile bloomed on his serious face, and he hurried up to greet him: "Mr. Evans, welcome back!"
"Hmm, Mr. Evans?!" Polly and her companions came to their senses at Mr. Hank's reminder. I had witnessed Mr. Evans' subversive conducting and artistic piano performance at the Aalto Music Festival in the Town Square three years ago, and I was deeply impressed by his elegance and madness.
"Good morning, Mr. Hank. Lucien smiled and nodded to Hank, he hadn't seen him for three years, and when he faced himself, Mr. Hank seemed to be more and more warm and polite.
Seeing Lucien walking towards the reception desk while greeting her, Polly and the two bent down excitedly and very respectfully: "Good morning, Mr. Evans." β
Louise next to her also said with a little excitement: "Good morning, Mr. Evans." β
Girls of their age can be regarded as listening to Lucian's music to spend their "adolescence", and naturally have indescribable respect and admiration for him.
Lucien kept a polite smile and looked at the white wolf with two ears pricked up at Louise's feet: "You're Miss Louise, aren't you? β
It's the truth. Yesterday's dinner, Lucien had the hotel's band play the music festival's famous compositions. Of course, the ones that are easy to play, such as Victor's "Symphony of Love" due to its large scale and strict orchestration, require a full orchestra to perform perfectly, and ordinary small orchestras can only extract the main chord and part of the movement to perform.
"Thank you, Mr. Evans, I still have a lot to learn. Louise blushed and thanked him, because an unkind praise from a great musician of Lucien's level can bring consolidation and promotion of status to newcomers, and Lucien's status in the younger generation is extraordinary, and the object of his own reverence must be the greatest praise.
After greeting both Hank and Louise, Lucien looked at Polly kindly, "Hello, may I ask my teacher, Mr. Victor, is he in the association?
After his last concert, Christopher served as Honorary President.
"Hello, Mr. Evans. Polly was a little excited and couldn't help saying hello again, "Mr. Victor is currently a director of the association, and he has a lot to deal with after the festival, so he arrived at the association early in the morning. President Christopher came to the association every day during this time, and it seems that he has a new creative direction. β
Lucien nodded slightly, no wonder Natasha told herself to come to the Musicians' Guild first, it seemed that she knew very well that Mr. Victor and President Christopher were very likely to be here.
After asking Phyllis, Elena, and the others again, and finding that they had not arrived at the association today, Lucien walked towards Victor's lounge and office on the third floor under the guidance of Hank.
"Good morning, Mr. Evans. Along the way, Lucien met several musicians who were familiar with him very politely and respectfully.
Before leaving Aalto, no matter how much Lucian achieved and how much praise he received, for the musicians and musicians who witnessed his journey from a pauper to a great musician, it was difficult to forget the caretaker of the music library and the beginner who played the piano...... These images are always overlapped with Lucien after success, that is, he became famous too quickly, giving people the feeling of "nouveau riche".
But three years have passed. With the precipitation of time, Lucien not only did not degenerate as quickly as many geniuses, but also composed two piano sonatas that remained above the standard. It can be called excellent, especially "Moonlight Sonata" is a classic, known as the most beautiful piano music at present.
Coupled with the fact that Lucien never returned to Aalto, it gave the musicians of the Guild a lot of imagination and "brain filling" space. So when Lucien set foot here again, in their hearts, Lucien had completed the transformation from a talented musician to a great musician. It's a big name in the music industry who must be respected enough!
In the hall, watching Lucien and Hank disappear at the top of the stairs, Polly covered her face with her hands and said excitedly to her companion: "Mr. Evans is more temperamental and elegant than I imagined, I wonder what kind of music he will bring back?"
"yes, what kind of music will Mr. Evans bring back?" was the sentiment shared by Louise and the other young musicians and musicians. It's really exciting, it seems to be even more exciting than the previous Aalto Music Festival!
............
"I can't imagine that President Christopher still maintains a strong creative passion. As he approached the third floor, Lucien smiled and chatted with Hank.
Hank smiled enthusiastically, "President Christopher has given his last concert, but he never stops, in his own words. Life never stops, and music doesn't stop. Hehe, after hearing the solemn chant at the music festival, he had the inspiration to create a religious music, but unfortunately there are too many classic works in this area, and it is too difficult to write satisfactory works, and there has been no progress. β
Before the theme music trend brought by Lucian, music that simply expressed the beauty of music dominated the mainstream, but more mainstream than it was religious music. This is the eternal leitmotif of Aalto after the then Cardinal Charles I formulated the psalm code, it was, it is, and it will be for a long time to come. Therefore, there are so many classics that it is very difficult to surpass their predecessors.
"Religious music ......," Lucien nodded thoughtfully.
The two talked casually, and soon arrived in front of Victor's office.
"Mr. Evans, knock on your own door and surprise Director Victor. Hank suggested with a smile.
Lucien didn't refuse, and knocked softly on the door.
After a short, slow, unhurried knock on the door, Lucien waited quietly, and his keen hearing saw that Victor was slowly pacing over to open the door.
He still maintained his original style, instead of becoming arrogant, like many directors, asking questions from a distance through the door and then treating them differently depending on their status.
The door slowly opened, and Victor hadn't changed much from three years ago, still with a faint mustache, black curly hair, and slightly melancholy blue eyesβa man of his age was neither more mature than a young man, and he had changed greatly after a few months, nor was he like a person who had passed the age of fifty, and aging could be seen every year.
However, Victor's spirit seems to be very good, and the melancholy has turned more into tranquility, as if the completion of the "Symphony of Love" has given him some sense of comfort.
Looking at Lucien in front of him, Victor's expression froze with a little doubt, and then he looked up and down, as if to confirm whether it was real.
After looking at it, Victor stretched out his right hand, first paused slightly on Lucian's right shoulder, and then patted it down, and said in a gentle and mellow voice: "It's back, it's finally back, it's good to come back." β
Although he tried his best to hide his excitement and joy, and did not distort his voice, he couldn't control the force when he patted Lucian's right hand, and it seemed a little hard.
This kind of force, for Lucien, who has the body of a knight, is no problem, but he can feel a sincere love from it, which makes Lucien slightly sour, and the nostalgia that lingers in his heart seems to have a new feeling, and a melody that has troubled him for a long time is naturally complete and beautifully emerged.
Without the outburst of emotion, there is no real music. (To be continued.) )
